GUP. It smells like the fabric of an AACR2 steamroller.

For the poll, in my head I was thinking Signals-forward when using the words "by far." But you raise a good point that the two previous albums were also 80s. Taking those two albums into the mix, I would drop the words "by far," yet still I prefer Grace over both of them. Such consistency, punch, and quality songwriting. It is my clear favorite post-Hemispheres and near the top of my overall list.

Signals, as it brings back great memories of my later HS years. I saw that tour as well at the great LA Forum.
Subdivisions is such a great song........That being said GUP is no slouch either.

more of a Signals man these days...

Both albums are quite good. However, Signals has Subdivisions, Countdown and The Weapon that I rate ahead of any track on Grace Under Pressure.
